Hi Lucky! Welcome!

I'm also growing a couple strains of auto's... Flash Cobra and Short Stuff #1

This is my first indoor grow and it has been a bit nerve-wracking. I'm about 2 weeks into it. I had read everything I could read, and did as many of the right things regarding light and stuff that I could in the situation I am in.

The primary mistakes I've made so far:

NUMBER ONE! I didn't check my ph until I had watered a couple times. I'm not particularly fond of the color yellow to begin with... :i feel stupid: Seriously, this is important. I almost destroyed everything before I got started good.

#2 anxiety - I got anal about examining the seedlings from day one. I was seeing an occasional critter on a leaf and go into panic mode internally. Luckily, I didn't take any action since I never saw much in the way of damage. (thanks to the many people on this site who instructed me to be slow to act until it's necessary.)

#3 Impatience - I was looking at my plants the last couple days very disappointed. I've had some challenges but they have been fixable. They just didn't seem like they were nearly as far along as they should be. I went back and checked my grow log to see exactly how old they were and they turned out to be a week younger than I was thinking. They're still a little behind but, only a little.

All the best to you and I'm very interested to see how things go with your grow.

Hey everyone, first time poster long time reader :jointsmile: So I got an EarthBox to grow my first plants in, I got some good nutes and the EarthBox comes with it's own 7-7-7 fertilizer. I was in the checkout when I saw a fire extinguishing system for grow rooms, and it had a list of things in the grow room that use electricity, so I bought some of the things on the list ;) I was going to get a HID lamp for 200 plus the bulb for 100, but the guy at the dro store suggested a Sun Systems Sun Rating: 5
